Bircher Reservoir is a reservoir in Powder River County, Montana and covers about 5.01 acres.
Bircher Reservoir is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Around the open side of a channel turn, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Across the darker edge of a windblown shore, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
Beside the outer drop of an outside bend, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
Around the soft edge of a gravel shelf, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
Around the hard edge of a windblown shore, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
Near the shallow side of a sand-to-rock change, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
